Quotes 

  • Tracy Jordan : I think I am.

    Maury Povich : Tracy, meet your father, Tom!

    Tracy Jordan : No! I hate you, Thomas Jefferson! I don't know who I am anymore! You can't be my father!

    Sally Hemings : Hey, Maury. He's a dog! He's a dog!

    Maury Povich : Sally Hemmings just called you a dog, Thomas Jefferson.

    Thomas Jefferson : No matter, Maurice. I am here for you, Tracy Jordan. I rode a horse all the way from heaven to tell you something important. America, which I invented...

    [the audience boos, and Jefferson makes a pixelated rude gesture to the audience] 

    Thomas Jefferson : ... which I invented, is a great country because we are not burdened by our pasts. Embrace who you are, Tracy Jordan. And may the force be with you always.

  • Jack Donaghy : I want you on this, Lemon. Those jokes you wrote for my Mitt Romney fundraiser, they were top-notch.

    Liz Lemon : Those weren't jokes! That was an appeal for a return to common sense and decency.

    Jack Donaghy : Well, they got big laughs.

  • Liz Lemon : You're worried about that guy?

    Jack Donaghy : Banks is in New York for a reason, and I intend to send him back to L.A.

    Liz Lemon : Wow, if this turns into a showdown, you guys could settle it with a

    [imitating Jack's gravelly voice] 

    Liz Lemon : "talking like this contest."

  • Jack Donaghy : Good God; Devon is gay. He's even more powerful than I thought.

    Liz Lemon : [facetiously]  Maybe you should seduce him and get him to tell you all his secret plans.

    [cut to Kenneth sitting in front of Jack's desk] 

    Kenneth Parcell : So, Mr. Donaghy, what can I do for you?

  • [Jack wants a naïve Kenneth to gather intelligence about Devon Banks] 

    Jack Donaghy : You should get to know Devon; tell him all of your television ideas. You know, he started off as a page, just like you.

    Kenneth Parcell : Really? So did I!

  • Jack Donaghy : Banks is no slouch: He pioneered the concept of ten-second internet sitcoms.

  • Maury Povich : All right, Tracy, l have the DNA results right here. Are you ready to find out who your biological father is?

    Tracy Jordan : I think I am.

    Maury Povich : Tracy... meet your father, Tom!

    Tracy Jordan : [Jack enters dressed as Thomas Jefferson]  No! l hate you, Thomas Jefferson! l don't know who l am anymore! You can't be my father!

    Sally Hemings : Maury, he a dog! He a dog and a liar!

    Maury Povich : Sally Hemings just called you a dog, Thomas Jefferson

    Jack : [as Thomas Jefferson]  No matter, Maurice. l'm here for you, Tracy Jordan. l rode a horse all the way from Heaven to tell you something important. America, which l invented...

  • Jack Donaghy : I want you to tell me everything that happened last night.

    Kenneth Parcell : The curtains open on a group of chorus line dreamers in 1970s leotards. Five...

    Jack Donaghy : Stop that. I'm not talking about the show. The only reason I sent you to Banks was to get information. Why were you telling him anything?

    Kenneth Parcell : I'm sorry, sir. I had to keep talking just to stop him from putting his fingers in my mouth.

    Jack Donaghy : Kenneth, you are the worst gay bait ever.

    Kenneth Parcell : You used me?

    Jack Donaghy : For television. Kenneth, I humiliated you for television.

    Kenneth Parcell : Like on "What's Happening?" when that man used Rerun to bootleg that Doobie Brothers concert!

    Jack Donaghy : Exactly. And I need to humiliate you again. I got a very important meeting coming up and Banks cannot be there.

    Kenneth Parcell : And you want me to kill him.

    Jack Donaghy : No. I need you to distract him. You gotta make sure he doesn't leave that hotel room tomorrow morning.

    Jack Donaghy : I'll do it. Just like Sidney Bristow on "Alias," I'll use my sexuality as a weapon. To the wig shop!
